Options- A. 9000
- B. 9400
- C. 9600
- D. 9800
- Correct Answer
- 9600
Explanation
Greatest number of 4-digits is 9999.L.C.M. of 15, 25, 40 and 75 is 600.
On dividing 9999 by 600, the remainder is 399.
∴ Required number (9999 - 399) = 9600.

Correct Answer: 0.18
Explanation:
Given numbers are 1.08, 0.36 and 0.90. H.C.F. of 108, 36 and 90 is 18,
∴ H.C.F. of given numbers = 0.18.
Correct Answer: 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7
Explanation:
Clearly, 252 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Required number = H.C.F. of (91 - 43), (183 - 91) and (183 - 43)
= H.C.F. of 48, 92 and 140 = 4.
Correct Answer: 3⁄1400
Explanation:
| Required H.C.F. = | H.C.F. of 9, 12, 18, 21 | = | 3 |
| L.C.M. of 10, 25, 35, 40 | 1400 |
Correct Answer: 114345
Explanation:
99 = 11 x 9, where 11 and 9 are co-prime.
By hit and trial, we find that 114345 is divisibleby 11 as well as 9. So, it is divisible by 99.
Correct Answer: 35 cm
Explanation:
Required length = H.C.F. of 700 cm, 385 cm and 1295 cm = 35 cm.
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 2 x and 3 x
Then, their L.C.M. = 6x.
So, 6x = 48 or x = 8.
∴ The numbers are 16 and 24.
Hence, required sum = (16 + 24) = 40.
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
36 = 2 2 x 3 2
84 = 22 x 3 x 7
∴ H.C.F. = 22 x 3 = 12.
Correct Answer: 23
Explanation:
L.C.M. of 5, 6, 4 and 3 = 60.
On dividing 2497 by 60, the remainder is 37.
∴ Number to be added = (60 - 37) = 23.
Correct Answer: 48
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 3 x and 4 x . Then, their H.C.F. = x . So, x = 4.
So, the numbers 12 and 16.
L.C.M. of 12 and 16 = 48.
